Mad ups.
Aaaaand humans are screwed.
Sure... but we already knew that. I for one welcome our robot overlords. Sure they will do a better job then we have.
As one of the squishy meat bags designing our new overlords, I'm already all in. Right @thwr?
Probably not a good idea, but yeah, why not

Down the street from my house there is a "topiary" around a mailbox that looks a lot like the poo emoji without eyes. I'll try to snap a pic one day, it's hilarious.

So, didn't get the job I interviewed for because I didn't have certs.

Haha!! They seemed like a very good company to be honest!! The whole "we are looking for specialized skills that you get with certifications" is kinda dumb if you ask me. It's that whole argument "are certifications necessary?"

So certs are more important than skills?
If they knew that they required certs, the interview was a farce just to waste your time?
I call this corporate cat fishing.

They actually said and I quote "It’s a combination of types of experience and best practices knowledge, which usually comes from dedicated training, certifications, and the like."

If they think that TRAINING is how you learn, I think you likely dodged a bullet. I know of almost no skill that comes from training rather than learning.

That implies that they are unable to self teach, and then project that limitation onto those that they hire.

Most businesses will put it on the learner not the teacher. My last company had this one woman teaching everyone and she was the worst teacher I've ever seen. After every class she complained about how stupid everyone was and every day I'd be tempted to tell her that she's the problem.

I hope you are correct about dodging a bullet. I guess the search continues, but the clock is ticking for me.
I'm a "cash in hand" kind of guy and I won't stop being concerned until I walk in on my first day of whatever new job I land.
